(Montevallo, Ala) In the summer of 2021, The University of Montevallo completed its process of turning the old gym into a new gym and strength and conditioning gym.

 The new gym has weight racks, dumbbells, medicine balls, and even has a strip of turf in the facility.

The New gym opened due to there being over 450 student-athletes and 21 teams on-campus with limited space to work out. The new gym will help with overcrowding and capacity in the student activity center and Myrick gym. 

The most excited people about the opening of the gym are the student-athletes

Senior Da’Shaun Morgan said “ The opening of the New Gym allows other students and teams to use the SAC. It also helps with managing times for teams to exercise. This new gym solved a major problem that we have had in the previous years”

The Gym has been a historic facility on campus but has been underutilized. With its opening, it’s helping a problem that has been on the campus for years.
